Thursday, 22 April 2010

Homeowners Push For New Lemon Laws
Jim Strickland reports.  Homebuyers frustrated with shoddy construction and ineffective regulations are demanding change. They were at the capital today to begin to push for new legislation based on the Lemon Law that protects car buyers...  They want a new lemon law on new homes. Jeannette Martin likes the idea...  Her complaint to the state construction board went no where...  The home lemon law is the easiest way to give and give the biggest incentive to build home right the first time...  (Greg Cole) It's got to come to a stop.  We need to be protected and the only way we can do that is by legislation.  There is very little that can be done when you are stuck with a bad home.
